I'm not sure how much traction that idea got. For landing, there was a roll-over speed associated with the cross deck pendants.
It doesn't really matter though... the limiting constraint for the COD mission is volume and not weight.

40 years! Lots of spares to make.

There's a little more volume to fill in a V-22, but after 1150 nm to the ship, you probably won't need a roll-on landing after burning all that gas.
A STO would be beneficial depending on what you're carrying back.
Yes, 40 extra years of service will require a lot more attrition birds, whatever the aircraft type. At least there's a live production line now if we plan for the future.

From the Hawkeye-Greyhound Wing on FB:
"Today VRM-30 “Titans” became active — the Navy’s first CMV-22 Osprey squadron. Although now only a handful of Plankowner Sailors, VRM-30 will grow over the next two years into a full, vibrant and Fleet ready squadron delivering critical readiness to our Carrier Strike Groups at sea. VRM-30 is scheduled to receive its first Osprey aircraft in June ‘20. Congratulations to the first CO of VRM-30 — CDR Trevor “Pee Wee” Hermann. His leadership coupled with the support of his Triad and motivated Sailors will ensure VRM-30’s growth and development remain on track!"

Seems like being CO of a squadron with no aircraft would suck
...or would it? VAQ-143 stood up then stood down....never had a single jet assigned...I hear it may stand up again.

Atlas is the straightest Titan. He was a total player before he got stuck as history's angriest weightlifter.
All the administrative bullshit plus extra scrutiny for being a new program but no flying? Fuck that.
Is that actually ever going to happen? I feel like "they" have been talking about it for like 5 years now.
What, no “Atlas Shrugged” jokes?
Anyone decided if VRM-50 will in fact revive the “Foo Dogs”?
